You know, summer flew by pretty quick this year! In just over a week I'll be 23 and I've been doing a lot of thinking. It is pretty Important how and who we spend our time with. A song I was listening to mentioned that alot of time it isn't so much where you go, but who you do it with. And as I get older that seems more and more true for me.

If we are honest with ourselves, life can't always be roses. But the perspective you look at your life with can sure make a difference on how well you change and grow in those tough valleys we all go through..🤠 • • • •... • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

Being a leader is more then just being out in front of the herd. This summer I've been learning alot about leadership both for my horses and those around me. I think it is a life long journey that you learn and grow into. It's not something you all of a sudden become one day. It takes showing up every day and sometimes doing the tough stuff🤔 • • • •... • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

When you are taking care of a herd of horses, it is pretty important to make sure you take the time it takes to observe each one and know when they aren't feeling their best. The reality is, sometimes it is easy to overlook different issues just because of how busy your day is.🐎 • • • •... • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

After a good ride it does your horses good to stand and think about their lesson. It not only teaches them patience, but allows them to soak up what they have learned rather then just being put back out with their buddies.🤠 • • • •... • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #horselove #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #showhorse #horses_of_instagram #prca #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #horsecrazy #horseaddict #horseoftheday #equestrianlife #horsenation #horsesofig #westernriding #horseriding #reiningalberta

You know, it's interesting how riding in the rain will bring out other characteristics in your horses that you dont see on a dry day.🐎 • • • •... • • #applythemethod #aqhaproud #horsetraining #horsemanship #horseman #horsesofinstagram #reininghorse #reining #cuttinghorse #equinephotography #horses #horse #cowboy #cowgirl #alberta #quarterhorse #classicequine #clintonanderson #ncha #aqha #westernriding

Nothing like a strong cup of coffee and a herd of horses early in the morning. Up in the mountains the weather can change in a heart beat and so we were thankful for any amount of sunshine we could get. This particular morning we were feeding alfalfa cubes and oats to the herd. There can be a limited amount of grass for a herd of 25 horses, so we supplemented it with the alfalfa and oats once or twice a day depending on if we were in camp or not.🐎 • • • •... • • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

If I remember correctly we had around 40 people and horses out on several of our rides this August. Believe it or not, when you have quite a few campers that have never ridden a horse it takes some organization and work to make things run smooth🐎🏇 • • • •... • • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #horselove #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #showhorse #horses_of_instagram #prca #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #horsecrazy #horseaddict #horseoftheday #equestrianlife #horsenation #horsesofig #westernriding #horseriding #reiningalberta

Guess the high difference between these two horses! There is no trick photography in this pic folks. But if you think about it, the cowboy on the warmblood is 6'2". So the bay is no small horse🤠 • • • •... • • • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #horselove #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #showhorse #horses_of_instagram #prca #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #horsecrazy #horseaddict #horseoftheday #equestrianlife #horsenation #horsesofig #westernriding #horseriding #reiningalberta

There is something to be said about getting up before the sun at 5:30am to wrangle in a heard of horses for the day. When I was younger, I didn't enjoy mornings very much. But as I've got older I really started to appreciate the early mornings and their quietness. 🐎 • • • •... • • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

No, we don't always get along 100% perfect, but we have each others back. Sometimes life can be pretty crazy, which shows me how awesome it is to be a part of this band of brothers🤠

We eat lunch back in the basin in the area just above the top of my hat. It was pretty sweet to be out in such an awe inspiring beauty🌄🐎 • • • •... • • • #horsesofinstagram #leifharbidge #applythemethod #horsemanship #horsetraining #cowboy #cowgirl #aqhaproud #equinelife #ranchlife #horseman #horsetrainer #equinephotography #instahorses #barrelhorse #barrelracing #reining #cuttinghorse #reininghorse #horselife #horseandrider #riding #horsebackriding #horselove #quarterhorse

When you are able to get away from the crazy of normal life you can see your creator in so many different ways! This was part way up one of the mountains we rode up. I think in total we were out on the trail for 8 or 9 hours that day😀 • • • •... • #horsetrainer #coltstarting #westernpleasure #aqhaproud #riding #lakotaypa #barnlife #foundationquarterhorse #halterhorse #horseshow #leifharbidge #horses_of_instagram #nrha #cowboy #cowgirl #cowboygirl #westernlife #teamroping #westernphotography #barrelracing #horseaddict #horsesofinstagram #equestrianlife #horseandrider #reininghorses #westernriding #horseriding #applythemethod #horsemanship

Sometimes it's just that little voice in your head telling you not to worry what other people say! Yep, BE that crazy🤠 • • I'm heading off to the ride in the Rocky mountain range for a week where there is no cell service or internet.
